Every stage ESPN lists (league, qualifying, knockouts, playoffs). European seasons run across two years; MLS seasons are calendar years.

What it does not have

  • Seasons are named by the year they start: 2024 = 2024-25. The promotion and relegation play-offs of 2013-14 to 2017-18 (33 matches) are tagged as knockouts.
  • ESPN lists 52 of the 228 matches of 2023-24 (nothing from August to October 2023), and 179 of 2019-20, which ended early in March 2020.
  • Lineups for 74% of 2001-02 matches and 89% or more since. Player and team box scores for 2007-08 to 2014-15 (96% of matches or more), 66% of 2006-07, 87% of 2024-25 and every match since 2025-26; in the other seasons goals, assists and cards are counted from the match events and the rest is null.
  • Shot locations only in 2008-09 to 2014-15 (96% of matches or more, about 21 a match) and about ten a match in 2007-08; none from 2015-16. Cards in the match events from 2008-09.
  • Sportsbook lines from 2018-19: one book (Bet 365) for 73% to 93% of matches to 2022-23, up to nine books on the 52 matches of 2023-24, two books a match since in ESPN's feed. The Odds API adds opening and closing lines from August 2020: a median of 4 books a match in 2020-21, 5 in 2021-22, 7 in 2022-23, 8 in 2023-24 (from November 2023) and 2024-25, 7 since.
  • In 26 of the 5,548 matches with events ESPN's goal events do not add up to the score (a goal listed twice or missing); the score is ESPN's final score.
